To be honest I really think its the Offense of play calling! - Like I really can't see us beating teams with checkdowns and curl routes! - Those plays make it hard for a player to get yards after the catch! - MM has got to change that!

I don't think that's the case if we can utilize our RBs to their full potential. All three of our backs can be good receiving RB's but since Mularkey is to brain dead to know how to utilize them, We'll just settle for comeback routes all game.

Our offense definitely needs to evolve. We had 3 receptions by our backs, and 5 total attempts to them. We don't do screens, flares, or throw deep. Is it Ryan or Mularkey? I think it's MM.

Great point. My only issue with the current regime is their road performance. Including the playoff game in Arizona, the Braves are 13-3 at home and 7-11 on the road. However, of those 11 road losses, the difference was:

True but with the champs in this division and with the NFC being extremely talented it's won't be easy to get home field advantage. So we got to get better on the road otherwise we won't get out of the Wild Card game.

i cant seem to figure out why ryan isnt reading all hise options, seems last year and this year, and ironicly enough, it usually tony G, but seems like hes predetermined where to go, seems to be depending too much on tony, roddy is our only ELITE player, so it was good to see him catch 13 passes, but there were some big time wide open plays left out o nthe field, due to the predetermined route of the play...i know ryan will get over this hump, but he needs to do it NOW.

Russ, I don't think he has time to make his reads. Not when he has less than 2 seconds to get rid of the ball.

Plus, in 44 attempts - he targeted Tony 5 times and Roddy 23 (although 5 of them were throw aways). He's going to Roddy because he doesn't have time to make the play - and that's who he trusts.

When he was in the no huddle - he was able to dictate more of what he wanted to do and we saw him distribute the ball more.[hr]

That's something we definitely have to work on. However, if we won all our home games and half our road games - we would be 12-4 - which I could sure live with.

Don't think it is just the play calling, although isn't it about time we give Ryan as much control as we can. Basically say, "we win or lose based on how you perfrom". Our o line played pretty awful in that last game.

Guess I need to see another game or two before I say scrap the thing and start from scratch..
